wacko2000 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Im from NY also, closer to NYC though. Like #1 banshee (Greg) said, not alot of places to ride anymore. There are some spots in NJ that people still ride, but its hit or miss with the cops. Im down for some riding after Feb, Alot of use are heading out to Glamis in Cali, for a few days during Presidents week. I rode a rausch Creek about 2 years ago, there track is pretty sweet, The trails arent that good though, maybe they stepped there game up since my last visit, not sure though.

Yaxy Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 There are actually all kinds of riding areas in upstate NY. Most of them that I am aware of are just a tad south of Potsdam. If you want high speed riding Tug hill is the place. If you want nice trails try Harrisville, Croghan,and other ares towards Copenhagen and Oswego. The clubs have been working there tails off to keep spots open and have been making great progress. They are in the process of opening up some important trails to link several of the counties. Lewis, Oswego and Jefferson counties have all kinds of places to ride and and hopefully in the near future they will all be connected. There are Poker Runs about once a month in the summer on the Hill and of course they have the SNIRT run in April. This is the biggest poker runs which attracts approximately 1500 people every year. NY is finally realizing the importance of ATV's which brings millions of $ into our up state area. It should only get better. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flint Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I hvae ridden snowmobiles in the tug hill region before and the trails are great. as long as you go durring the week. most of the time on the weekend its so packed youcant get arround a corner without someone running you off the trails. As for quads i have never ridden up their. I do know that alot of the sled trails that are open in NY state are closed in the summer time to Quads. Iused to be able to ride all over the place and cops wouldnt even look at you. Now within 10 min of riding one is chasing you. We will hvae to look and see what we have available to us and set up a good ride this summer josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaxy Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 The snowmobile trails on Tug Hill are mostly seasonal roads. Of these seasonal roads a select few are open for ATV use which allows you to get from one side of the hill to the other. In the past most of tug hill was open for ATV use and even though certain trails are open people still basically ride where they used to with little hassle. The only problem you run into is if you are on state land and you run into the DEC. They can go either way. Most of the time the law only stops you to check for registration and insurance. I usually am up on the hill almost every Saturday from May through October and If I see an officer a year that is alot. It is a nice place to go if you want to put a lot of miles on. Once you are used to it the trails/roads may get a bit boring but that totally changes if you ride at night. No one anywheres and high speed riding at night is just awesome.
